Emergency Boarding Up in Epsom

If you need boarding up Epsom right now — for a broken window, post-burglary make-safe or damaged shopfront — we provide rapid, professional boarding and securing across Epsom (KT17, KT18, KT19). Our team has 10+ years’ experience securing homes, shops and vacant properties across the KT postcode area and we work 24/7 to make properties safe and weatherproof until permanent repairs are arranged.

When you need this

Common situations we attend in Epsom include:

• Burglary or break‑in: smashed doors or kicked frames needing post-burglary boarding and temporary secure door options.
• Vandalism or smashed shop windows on Epsom High Street.
• Storm damage at Epsom Downs or around Epsom Common leaving broken glazing or exposed roofs.
• Accidental impact: delivery vans or motorists striking shopfronts or windows.
• Securing vacant or void properties pending renovation or re‑letting.

We cover local hotspots including Epsom High Street, Epsom station and the area around Epsom Downs Racecourse. Nearby neighbourhoods we serve include Ashtead, Leatherhead and Tattenham Corner.

How we secure your property

We follow an insurer-friendly, non‑destructive approach wherever possible. Typical steps and materials:

1. Initial assessment on arrival: safety check, hazard control (glass debris, unstable frames) and brief photo record.
2. Temporary boarding: exterior-grade plywood or OSB (commonly 9–12mm depending on size and location) cut to fit openings and fixed with anti‑tamper fixings designed so they can’t be removed from outside.
3. Optional upgrades: temporary steel doors, Sitex‑style security screens or steel security screens for commercial premises and vacant properties.
4. Weatherproofing: close overlaps and seal as needed for storm damage; where roof or skylight access is required we may use 18mm OSB and tarpaulins in combination.
5. Evidence and paperwork: time‑stamped photos, itemised invoice and a short work statement for insurers. Keep any police or incident reference number and we’ll note it on your job report.

Non‑destructive securing explained

• Wherever possible we secure existing frames and use external fixings so you keep doors and glazing intact.
• In rare cases — for example, badly warped frames after flood or where structural damage creates a safety risk — replacement or more intrusive temporary works may be necessary. We’ll explain options, costs and get your authorisation before proceeding.

All technicians are DBS‑checked, carry public liability insurance and work to safe systems (RAMS) for commercial jobs. We offer guarantees on workmanship where applicable.

FAQs

Who should I call if my shop window is smashed in Epsom late at night?

Call our emergency team on Call 020 4572 1601. We provide same‑day shopfront boarding and can arrange a temporary security screen until glazing is replaced.

Is boarding up covered by insurance?

Many policies cover emergency boarding up after theft, vandalism or storm damage. We provide time‑stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement to support your claim, but you should check your insurer’s terms and keep any police reference number.

How long does it take to board up a window or door?

Most domestic windows or doors can be secured in under an hour once we arrive. Larger shopfronts or roofs take longer and may need extra equipment. We won’t give rigid ETAs over the phone, but we operate mobile teams across KT17–KT19 and can despatch quickly.

Will you damage my windows or frames when boarding up?

Our priority is non‑destructive securing. We use external fixings and cut boarding to fit frames. If a frame is unsafe or badly damaged (e.g., after a vehicle impact), we’ll explain the necessary work and get your approval before any intrusive measures.

Can you provide longer‑term security for vacant properties in Epsom?

Yes — we offer Sitex‑style security screens and temporary steel doors for void properties. These are fitted with anti‑tamper fixings and access management options for property managers and landlords.
